Scientists were astounded last year when the world’s oceans hit record levels of warmth. The cause of this surge was unknown, but the increase in sea surface temperatures was more drastic than anything previously observed.
For several months, a mysterious surge of warmth caused heat waves to spread across nearly all of the ocean’s surface.
Scientists warn that the unprecedented streak of ocean heat, now entering a second year, could cause irreversible changes to Earth’s systems.
It could indicate that a warming planet is already significantly changing the way the climate system works, much earlier than scientists had expected. The heat waves in the ocean are occurring simultaneously with the warmest weather conditions ever recorded in the atmosphere.
Last year, global temperatures reached a record high, potentially making it the hottest year in over 100,000 years. Climate scientists predict that 2024 could be even warmer.
Seeing such dramatic warming throughout Earth’s oceans is even more concerning, considering that, according to the Secretary-General of the World Meteorological Organization, it requires significantly more energy to warm water than air.
“The time scale of the oceans is not as fast as the atmosphere,” Saulo said at a news conference. “Once a change is established, I would say it’s almost irreversible in time scales that go from centennial to millennial.
During 2023, marine heat waves spread across over 90% of the ocean’s surfaces, causing unprecedented glacier melt, Antarctic sea ice loss, and sea level rise.
There are concerns that the warming and melting of the Atlantic Ocean may lead to the collapse of a key current system. However, it is uncertain at what point this tipping point may occur.
Such a collapse would have devastating consequences on underwater ecosystems and weather patterns and could also trigger a chain reaction of negative impacts on marine life.
Matthew 24:37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Matthew 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
Matthew 24:39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Luke 21:11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and diseases; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
Luke 21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
Luke 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
